The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

调职

Xueyan tried to calm down and picked up Duanxiang, and asked: "What do you mean by this girl?"

Daiyu pouted: "The third aunt has taken a fancy to your character and appearance, she doesn't mind your status, and wants to hire you back to be her daughter-in-law!"

"Really?" Xueyan asked in surprise.

When she was so excited, she even forgot to hide her feelings, and the ice-snow-smart Daiyu immediately saw the clues: "I know that my third aunt always looks at you differently. I used to think that she was a pity. Now you look like this." , it made me have to think more, could it be that you and Brother Ming..."

Xueyan's face was blushing when she was told about the central matter: "Girl!"

She looked like she didn't tell herself, Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "No wonder! I didn't think about it in the past, but now I look back, I think it's not a day or two for Brother Ming to you. You should be careful, even I didn't notice anything abnormal."

Xueyan bit her lower lip: "This incident is the servant's fault. If the girl's reputation and future are involved because of some delusion, then the servant will be to blame even if she dies a hundred times."

Daiyu asked: "Then you have to tell me when this happened?"

Xueyan thought for a while, and then talked about the relationship between the two of them.

After listening, Daiyu clicked her tongue: "I didn't expect it to be so long. You have always been cautious. You should know that your identities do not match. Even if he wants to marry you now, there is no guarantee that he will not change his mind in the future. How do you decide?" him?"

Xueyan thought for a while, and replied: "Probably because of his respect, the servant is a maid. He is a man in the clan, if he falls in love with a maid, he can ask for it directly. If you are not careful, it is very easy to be spotted by others. But he has always been careful to protect the reputation of the servant, and never let me get the slightest rumor. Based on this alone, the servant is willing to take the risk."

Daiyu was stunned: "But this, you want to spend half your life gambling, you..."

Xueyan smiled wryly and said: "The servant girl knows what the girl is worried about, but the servant girl is a low-level person who doesn't even know who her biological parents are, so what is there to be afraid of when she is alone?"

"Forget it, since you are willing, why should I be a villain." Daiyu sighed leisurely.

"Slave, thank you for your success." Xueyan knelt down, she is not a person who likes to kneel, even though her status makes her feel unhappy every time she kneels, this time she is sincerely grateful to Daiyu.She wants to thank Daiyu for not being the kind of feudal defender who is kind on the surface and indifferent in heart, and that she can understand her own mind.

Daiyu and the Liu family had a good time, but the real boss of the Lin family was still Lin Ruhai.That night, Mrs. Liu thought about it and told him about it.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai didn't quite agree: "Brother Ming is a promising child. No matter how good that girl Xueyan is, she has a limited family background. Being a roommate is considered flattering, why can she be a regular wife?"

Liu smiled calmly and said: "It's fine if it's an ordinary maid, but Xueyan is a little different after all. She is stable and flexible in her work, has a good character, is good at needlework, and is rare to know how to read and write. Not to mention that she doesn't want to be a roommate, even if she is really a servant, with her scheming methods, the idle boudoir daughter can't handle her. Isn't this just to bring trouble to Brother Ming? The third wife also said , she fell in love with Xue Yan's character and appearance and the talent of housekeeper, and she felt that she was more capable than ordinary daughters of small families."

"If you want to be capable, you don't have to have a maid. Some concubines from rich families are capable and capable. Aren't there still a few concubines in the Jia family who are not yet married?" Lin Ruhai shook his head and said.

Mrs. Liu chuckled: "The third wife also said that concubine daughters from rich families have high vision, but they are used to rich clothes and good food since they were young. Their family has limited resources after all, and those whose threshold is too high may not be able to climb up. Or, she has to think about brother Ming's official reputation in the future."

Lin Ruhai glanced at her: "From what you mean, you agree to this marriage?"

Mrs. Liu was shocked, but she replied calmly: "To tell you the truth, my concubine does agree with this marriage. Brother Ming's future, the master can see the future of this child. Brother Zheng is still young, so I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. In the future, no matter whether sister Yu or elder brother will need Brother Ming’s help. If his daughter-in-law has a deep connection with our family, that’s the best. It couldn't be better."

Lin Ruhai's eyes were dark: "You are thinking about the long term."

"If the third wife didn't mention this matter, this concubine would never have thought of it. No matter how selfish I am, I can't force others to be a girl. But since she has spoken up in person, I think it's okay to let things go smoothly. " Liu Shi said openly.As for the clues between the two that she discovered a long time ago, she made up her mind to rot in her stomach.

Lin Ruhai rubbed his chin: "Okay, this is a matter for you housewives, you can decide."

Now that Lin Ruhai acquiesced, the matter is considered settled.The next day, Mrs. Liu called her over: "I have already informed the master about this. I told you that you are a lucky person, and it turns out that you are indeed so. It's just that it will not be easy for you to be around." The girl is waiting by my side. You will go back to pack your things in a while, and you will officially work by my side from tomorrow on."

"So urgent?" Xueyan was a little startled.

Liu said with a pointed smile: "I'm not in a hurry, but some people are. If I hadn't stopped me, some people would have wished to pass the six rituals today."

Hearing her joke, Xueyan blushed and backed away.

The news that Xueyan was going to Liu Shi's side soon reached Zhu Mei and the others, and everyone felt puzzled. She stayed with the girl well, so why is she going to Liu Shi's side all of a sudden?

Seeing Xue Yan coming back from Liu's, Zhu Mei hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Sister is really going to serve by your wife's side?"

Xueyan nodded: "Yes, my wife is about to give birth, and there are not enough capable maids around her. You know, my personal relationship with my wife was pretty good before, and she trusted me very much. In addition, I once served The wife is confinement first, so the girl asked me to serve the wife."

"You are our girl's powerful arm. If you are gone, what will the girl do?" Cui Zhu pouted and said bitterly: she used to look at this lady pretty well, but now it seems that there is something bad in her bones Well, he must be thinking of taking the girl's arm away first, so that he can handle the girl later.

Seeing that everyone had such thoughts, Xue Yan couldn't help rubbing her head. This incident was caused by herself, if it ruined Liu's image, how could she feel sorry?
